Art Up Close

This remarkable book sends children on a search for the tiny details hidden in some of the world's most celebrated works of art. Their hunt takes them through the tombs of ancient Egypt, the mosaics of the Roman Empire, and the frescoes of Renaissance Italy, to modern paintings of Northern Europe and North America.

The full color reproductions of more than 20 masterpieces are further enhanced by the lift-the-flap keys in the back of the book. At the end of the book, young readers can learn fascinating stories behind the subjects, the techniques, the artists, and the movements that helped art develop throughout the ages.
